Two Harkonnen sisters fight against forces threatening the future of humanity and found a legendary sect known as the Bene Gesserit. Whether they’re exploring the stars, escaping dystopias, or making the world a better place, these women are all about science fiction. This series uses material from Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson’s Great Schools of Dune trilogy. The prequel to the original Dune tells the story of how the Rossak Brotherhood evolved into the Bene Gesserit. The case where Valya Harkonnen voices is from one of the “Mentats of Dune.” These three books intertwine the development of the Brotherhood, the Mentatis, the Navigators, and the Suk Doctors. Referenced in AniMati’s Crazy Cartoon Cast: The New Normal (2020). I don’t want to just criticize the first episode of the TV show, but this was just average on every level. The acting was subpar, with the exception of a few well-known actors like Mark Strong, Emily Watson, Olivia Williams, and maybe Travis Fimmel. The other actors looked like they just came out of film school or something. The story was very loose and the dialogue wasn’t worth the dune. I love slow-paced dramas that take forever to develop because I know the payoff is worth the wait. But this wasn’t just slow, there was a lot going on, but it was just boring, I don’t know how else to put it. There was a bit of plagiarism of the soundtrack that gets lost in movies here, familiar voices popped up here and there, but the timing just wasn’t good. I heard a lot of music here that didn’t have an impact. I remember in movies people just talking and suddenly Hans Zimmer did his magic and I got really excited. But I know he wasn’t involved in producing any of the sound, and I don’t even need to check. I’m not sure if Denis Villeneuve was involved in this production, I hope not. My question is, did you enjoy making this. Could such an average TV show after two epic movies affect the long-awaited third movie? I wonder why The Penguin was so good that it made me appreciate Batman even more than I did after watching it, and I can’t wait for the second film. So how would Dune: Prophecy affect the third film, if there ever is one? Something to think about.
